#motu origins

So... there's not enough MOTU vehicles.

So I'm fixing that problem, starting with the Sky Sled/Doom Buggy. While other versions have been made, my take on it is built around the whole concept of 3d printing. You're going to have to assemble the toy regardless, so why not make that part of the fun?

Now Up in my Cults3d Store: The Customizable Sky Sled/Doom Buggy for MOTU (Vintage and Origins) and other 5.5" scale action figures!

The Sky Sleds and Doom Buggies were the go-to vehicle for both sides in the classic cartoon, and if they had so dang many of them, surely they'd get customized and tricked out, so this kit lets you equip your musclebound warriors with a vehicle that speaks directly to them.

1 Chassis, 6 gargoyles, 5 control panels, and two each of side guns, control yoke, front guns, side panels, and thrusters makes for 1,920 possible combinations, and I plan on making new vehicles built around this basic "core" that will expand the options with each new release.

And the adorable dragon engine even comes with a little roost so he can hang out outside his chamber.

It's right here!

For those out there with the MOTU Origins King Hiss figure, how do you display it? First picture is how I display it and the rest are other configurations I found on the world wide web.

My Filmation Skeletor arrived today, except they forgot to draw the rest of his face. I had to do it myself.

Aaaaand just a comparison with my custom cartoon Skelly:

One Day One Shot 2023 - Part 1

Over on Instagram, One Day One Shot is something we do every year while we're away on vacation.

We share a single picture of something new once a day, every day. It helps keep the page active when we're out of town, and (usually) drives engagement. This year is a little bit of exception - but I blame that on the new algorithm.

Over here, we're going to split up this year's shots into a few separate posts. Check back in for Part 2 and a Final Recap soon!

Making Castle Grayskull – Part 4: Detailing and Modifications

One of the details I wanted to put on Grayskull was the iconic emblem on the door. I made it using a laser printed version, stuck the paper on some EVA foam, and cut the features out in three or four layers. They are then glued together to create the 3D effect. The skull and feathers were sculpted using a soldering iron, before it was all painted to give a metallic look. The finished emblem was…

Sculpt as Play Feature

While the last several weeks have been very bad for my pain levels and general state, I've lucked out in that the hand pain has been minimal and my brain has decided sculpting is its preferred stim for the moment. So lets hit some previews of stuff I've got in the pipe.

Turtles of Grayskull Mekanek is... baffling. I mean, what's the reference? Is it some kind of snapping turtle armor? But part of being a toy customizer-enabler is fixing mis-steps by the official companies.

So I'm making bits to turn Mek-a-Nek into a mutant giraffe like I mis-predicted here, because c'mon!

This sculpt is in-process. I already have a neural-expression version sculpted, so this is the playmates-style variant. One thing I love about playmates' TMNT work (esp in the old days) is the classic assymetrical face sculpt, because especially on characters with long muzzles, it can get you three expressions in one head sculpt depending on how you look at the toy.

I'm going to add the tongue, possibly lolling out the left side of the muzzle, and a lot of other mods I'm sure. The current plan is to offer a pack with several variant heads (basic giraffe, wearing Mek-A-Nek helmet & goggles, and Halfcourt, with neck-extensions and a basketball hoop collar-piece for Halfcourt builds.

Minor variants are pretty easy to implement in 3d sculpts, so if I have a good idea for one I tend to include it as a bonus.

The Mutant Cringer/Panthor set, for instance, is going to have a bunch of variant options. Here we've got (Cringer/Panthor/TigerMan), BattleCat, TigerClaw/Old Hob (flip left to right), Ninja Cringer (a be-hatted Scratch is likely to follow) and I might do a Dupli-cat/Manx. Of course, since these are basic cat/tiger heads, once colored the options are endless.

On to the Big Stuff:

The Modular Sky-Sled/Doom Buggy Pack is entering final testing.

The Sky Sled was the most commonly used vehicle of the original series, being basic transport for both sides. As such, it makes sense to me that they would be heavily customized and adapted for individual users. Since 3d printing requires assembling the toy anyway, why not make that part of the fun, and provide options?

The pack includes 1 chassis design, 2 each of side guns, hood gun, control yoke, side panels, thruster assemblies, and removable engines. The initial pack also comes with six gargoyles, and at least 3 control panels.

This modular system is going to spawn a lot of vehicles and creatures, with cross-compatibility wherever it works for the release. The control panels, for instance, work with the newly revised (and currently in testing) Verminus Rex:

Who now no longer requires flex filament and has working mandibles that move in unison and numerous sculpt improvements.

Sprin-Tor (very early in development) takes full advantage of the modular system. Sprin-Tor assembles around a wild-west variant sky-skiff, and you can use the base Skysled chassis (and most of the other parts) with the Sprin-Tor parts to make your own variation, and as other vehicles in the series come out, the options expand with each.

He's even got a jingle.
